able to announce next week that the
bargain has been made, and to give
more extended and detailed account OF
the new enterprise.
One of the things that lola needs
and would literally sustain. is large
hotel, costing not less than $4,000 and
fitted up with all the modern con-
veniences. This is said without any
disparagement to the hotels we now
have, for so far as their capacity goes
they could not be excelled. But they
are not large enough. Situated as lola
is. at thr crossing of two trunk lines
of RAJ it is naturally and neces-
sarily good hotel town and
deserves and would sustain a

any one of our present ones. Who
will improve the opportunity:
1t was owing to the personal efforts
of Hon. E. D. Lacy that the bill to
prevent the use of fraudulent split tick
cts finally became a law. After its
passage through the House the author
OF it paid no more attention to it, and
Mr.. Lacy discovered, only four or five
days before the close of the session
that it was at the foot of the Sena te
calendar with no one apparently pay
Ing attention to it. He went to the
committee that had been appointed to
revise the calendar and prevailed on
them to advance it. Had il not been
for his watchfulness the bill would DO
doubt have been lost. Had Mr.. Lacy
performed no other service than this
ne would have well deserved the
thnnkS of his c6mtatuents.

next week, just for the fuu OF the
thing.
After the drafting of the ordinance
ordering an election to decide whether
or not the city should take stock in the
Gas and Coal Company, it was found
that the Legislature had passed a new
law on the subject which Is much pref
cradle in many respects to the old one.
Under the old law-the one under
which the election was Ordered-the
money required had to be provided for
by a direct levy, while under the new
law bonds are Issued bearing interest
at per cent. and payable at any time
not longer than fifteen years from date
of issue. 1t is undeniable that to raise
5000 in one year, or even in two years
by direct levy, would lay a very
heavy burden upon the tax payers.
while the same amount extending
over fifteen years could he paid with
no Trouble. Under these circumstance
,es it would certainly seem best that
the proclamation issued last week
should be recalled and new election
ordered under the new law, and we UNI
der-tand that such action will proba-
bly, be taken by the council at its next
meeting.

afternoon about o'clock at Westminster, a
broken rail at the SWITCH west of the depot,
causing deralment. The train consisted of
three Pullman sleepers. one passenger

the passenger coach was twisted sideways of
the track, but the smoker chung to the track.
Six freight cars on side-track were
sent over their Sides and
the two main tracks were completely
blocked. 1t seems miraculous that no one was
seriously injured. Beyond few slight bruises
the passengers escaped unhurt. In the special
Pullman car Nimrod, which went over the rail
all right, was Mr.. Hoyt, wellknown cologne

not able to get by the wreck for some hours
